Craft Accounting Inc. has been helping Burnaby small businesses and self-employed professionals for over 12 years, and you notice the difference from the first conversation. They specialise in bookkeeping, tax preparation and cloud accounting setup for service firms, contractors and creative freelancers, and they are known locally for getting reliable, on-time tax returns and clean financials that make bank applications easier.

Their core services cover everything practical owners need. Monthly bookkeeping is handled in Xero or QuickBooks Online with regular reconciliations and GST filings, payroll services include T4/T4A preparation and CRA remittance, and year-end corporate and personal tax returns are prepared with tax planning notes. They also offer HST reviews, small business incorporation advice, and catch-up bookkeeping for clients who are behind. For clients moving to cloud accounting, they provide data migration, chart of accounts clean-ups and training sessions, typically in one to three one-hour remote meetings.

What sets Craft Accounting apart is how they work. You get a dedicated accountant rather than a faceless queue, and they aim for clear next steps after each meeting. Their principal, a CPA with over a decade of practice in Metro Vancouver, oversees all tax filings, while junior accountants handle day-to-day reconciliations under that supervision. Expect a mix of short, practical emails and scheduled video calls, plus practical reports like monthly cash flow notes and a year-end tax strategy memo that shows your options in dollars, not jargon.

Locally owned and based in Burnaby, Craft Accounting takes part in community events and sponsors a neighbourhood business networking group. People choose them because they make numbers understandable, help clients qualify for loans and grants, and treat clients like neighbours.
